Produced by the York Electronics Centre, University of York, England, for the IEE, this course consists of 13 videos in five modules (total running time approximately 11 hours) with accompanying course notes. It is intended to be a stand-alone training aid to be used either as an individual teaching package or with tutored video instruction. Recently enhanced and updated to reflect the changes in the EC Directive and European Standards since 1992, this course identifies the range of disciplines...

Algebraic Identification and Estimation Methods in Feedback Control Systems presents a model-based algebraic approach to online parameter and state estimation in uncertain dynamic feedback control systems. This approach evades the mathematical intricacies of the traditional stochastic approach, proposing a direct model-based scheme with several easy-to-implement computational advantages. The approach can be used with continuous and discrete, linear and nonlinear, mono-variable and multi-variable...

The 802.11n wireless standard uses 64-state quadrature amplitude modulation (64-QAM) to achieve higher spectral efficiency. Consequently, the transmitter and receiver require a higher signal to noise ratio with the same level of error rate performance. This book offers a fully-analog compensation technique without baseband circuitry to control the calibration process. Using an 802.11g transceiver design as an example, it describes in detail an auto-calibration mechanism for I/Q gains and phases...

A compilation of the latest advances in the field of higher order statistical signal processing as recorded at the 1992 special international conference. Provides a solid foundation and key concepts underlying the applications of higher order statistical processing and illustrates how it can be used to solve practical problems in engineering and applied science.

Multi-point Cooperative Communication Systems: Theory and Applications mainly discusses multi-point cooperative communication technologies which are used to overcome the long-standing problem of limited transmission rate caused by the inter-point interference. Instead of combating the interference, recent progress in both academia and industrial standardizations has evolved to adopt the philosophy of “exploiting” the interference to improve the transmission rate by cooperating among multiple poi...

This book brings you a new approach to designing efficient and robust mobile radio communications links. After introducing the basic concepts of cellular radio and radio links, "Source-Matched Mobile Communications" details the effect of transmission errors on link performance for pulse code modulation (PCM). It describes the interaction between speech coding, channel coding, and modulation for mobile radio links. You'll also find thorough treatment of performance for binary and quadrature ampli...

Authored by internationally recognized experts on optical solitons, this book addresses the forefront of technology in the important field of optical communications. It deals with topics from the motion of light waves in optical fibres to the evolution of light wavepackets, and other applications.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of numerous physically distributed autonomous devices used for sensing and monitoring the physical and/or environmental conditions. A WSN uses a gateway that provides wireless connectivity to the wired world as well as distributed networks. There are many open problems related to Ad-Hoc networks and its applications. Looking at the expansion of the cellular infrastructure, Ad-Hoc network may be acting as the basis of the 4th generation wireless technology w...

Dieses Handbuch adressiert haufig anzutreffende Defizite und Probleme bei der Digitalisierung der Automobilindustrie und entwickelt einen methodisch fundierten und praxiserprobten Leitfaden zur agilen Umsetzung. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Wandel vom fahrzeugfokussierten hin zu einem mobilitatsorientierten Geschaftsmodell. Ausgehend von den Treibern des digitalen Wandels werden vier Digitalisierungsfelder definiert und eine Roadmap zu deren Transformation vorgestellt. Der Weg hin zur automatischen...

Provides a balance of traditional analog communications (amplitude and frequency modulation and their variations) and modern developments in data communications (networks, fiber optics, and personal communications systems). Material on antennas, transmission lines, and propagation is also included. Flexible format allows instructors to choose sequence of topics. Examples use actual equipment, complete with photographs and manufacturers' specifications wherever possible. Sections on test equipmen...

This book systematically summarizes China Internet development over the past 25 years, highlighting its strong impact on China's economy and society, and discussing the Chinese people's transition from beneficiaries and participants to builders, contributors and joint maintainers of cyberspace development. It describes the development achievements, status and development and trends in China Internet in 2019, systematically summarizes the main lessons learned during development, and analyzes Chin...

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Wireless and Satellite Services, WiSATS 2015, held in Bradford, UK, in July 2015. The conference was formerly known as the International Conference on Personal Satellite Services (PSATS) mainly covering topics in the satellite domain. As the scope of the conference widened to include wireless systems, the conference was renamed to WiSATS. The 29 revised papers were presented at the conference in three technical sessions...

Provides in-depth knowledge on lead-free piezoelectrics - for state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly electrical and electronic devices! Lead zirconate titanate ceramics have been market-dominating due to their excellent properties and flexibility in terms of compositional modifications. Driven by the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, there is a growing concern on the toxicity of lead. Therefore, numerous research efforts were devoted to lead-free piezoelectrics from the beginnin...
